Water jet propulsor

Abstract: A water jet propulsor powered by an integral canned electric motor includes a hollow housing (4) having a hermetically sealed stator (14) mounted therein. The stator is electrically connected to a source of electrical energy (18) in the vessel. An impeller assembly (20) that includes a tubular suction shroud (22) and impeller (24) is rotatably mounted inside the housing. The impeller assembly includes a hermetically sealed rotor (26) which is mounted around the suction shroud and positioned inside the stator in operative association therewith. Energizing the stator rotates the rotor, which in turn rotates the impeller to pump water from the intake end (10) of the housing to the outlet end (12) of the housing and adds velocity and head to the water to be discharged from the outlet end. The discharged water creates thrust which propels the vessel.

Description: This invention relates to a water jet propulsor for a marine vessel. Water jet propulsors are often used as the main drives for high cruising speed leisure, commercial and naval marine vessels. The basic operating principal of water jet propulsion is similar to that of a screw-type propeller system. The propelling force is generated by adding momentum to the water by accelerating a certain flow of water in an astern direction. Water from under the vessel is fed through an inlet duct to an onboard pump which adds head to the water. This head is then applied to increase the velocity when the water passes through an outlet nozzle into the ambient atmospheric pressure. Steering and reversing forces are generated by deflecting the discharged flow using a flow deflection bucket which is typically hydraulically operated. The water jet system is typically located in the stern of the vessel and is positioned at an elevation which enables it to be self priming when activated and which maximizes propulsion efficiency. Benefits of water jet propulsion include reduced noise, improved maneuverability, protected propulsion installation and shallow draft. The fuel efficiency of water jet propulsors is often better than with traditional sub-cavitating propellers at speeds above 20 to 25 knots, depending on the type of vessel. Figure 1 schematically illustrates a typical water jet installation of the prior art. The prior art water jet propulsion system of Figure 1 requires a power source, such as a diesel engine, steam turbine or gas turbine, P to be located near the water jet impeller I. In addition, the power source P must be mechanically coupled to the impeller I by a drive shaft D through gear box and clutch T. Drive shaft D must be located within water flow conduit C, thereby interfering with the flow of water. In addition, seals are required around drive shaft D where it passes through the wall of water flow conduit C. This arrangement limits the flexibility for designing the vessel within which such a system is utilized. With this type of arrangement, most of the propulsion weight must be located in the stern of the vessel and the location of the pump center line is dictated by the size of the propulsion components. There remains a need for a water jet propulsor that does not require a drive shaft to be located in the water flow conduit and which does not require the seals associated with a drive shaft passing through the walls of the water flow conduit. There also remains a need for a water jet propulsor which can be set at an elevation below the vessel static water line that is most convenient for self priming and propulsion efficiency and which does not require an engine or turbine to be located in close proximity thereto. This need is met by the invention claimed in Claim 1. U.S. Patent Specification 5,220,231 discloses a water jet propulsor according to the pre-characterising part of Claim 1. However, in that case the tubular shroud is not a suction shroud as it is located in line with and partially downstream of the impellor blades, i.e. on the pressurised side of the blades. The actual suction shroud in U.S. 5,220,231 is not part of the impeller assembly and is static. This invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments given with reference to the appended drawings, wherein: Figure 1 is a schematic view of a water jet propulsor system of the prior art. Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of one embodiment of the water jet propulsor of this invention. Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the housing and hub of the water jet propulsor of Figure 2. Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the impeller assembly of the water jet propulsor of Figure 2. Referring to Figures 2 through 4, there is shown a preferred embodiment of the water jet propulsor 2 of this invention. Water jet propulsor 2 includes a generally hollow housing 4 secured to the hull 6 of a marine vessel. The marine vessel may be a boat or ship of any suitable size and configuration. Housing 4 is preferably secured to hull 6, at or near the stem of the vessel, using bolts 8. Alternatively, any suitable attachment means, such as welding, may be used. Housing 4 has an inlet end 10 and an outlet end 12. An annular stator 14 is mounted inside housing 4. As may best be seen in Figure 3, annular stator 14 is hermetically sealed inside housing 4 by stator can 16. Energizing means 18 provide electrical power to stator 16 (Figure 2). Energizing means 18 preferably include a generator, or other source of electrical power, electrically connected to stator 14. The generator may be positioned in a location in the vessel that is remote from water jet propulsor 2 since only electrical connections to the water jet propulsor, rather than mechanical connections, are required. Referring more particularly to Figure 4, water jet propulsor 2 further comprises an impeller assembly 20. Impeller assembly 20 includes a tubular suction shroud 22 extending through and rotatable relative to annular stator 14 (Figure 2). An impeller 24 is secured to suction shroud 22. The vanes of impeller 24 may be secured to suction shroud 22 by welding or any other suitable manner known to those skilled in the art. The number of blades on impeller 24 and the blade configuration will depend on the desired performance of the water jet propulsor and may be determined in a manner known to those skilled in the art. In a preferred embodiment, impeller 24 is a single stage, mixed flow type impeller. It will be apparent, however, that an impeller having one or more centrifugal, axial or mixed flow type stages may be utilized. A rotor 26 is mounted around tubular suction shroud 22 and inside stator 14. Rotor 26 and stator 14 preferably cooperate to form an induction motor. Rotor 26 is preferably a squirrel cage rotor so that no electrical connections to the rotor are required. It will be appreciated, however, that the motor could be a synchronous motor. Rotor 26 is preferably shrink fitted onto suction shroud 22. Rotor 26 is preferably hermetically sealed by rotor can 28. Energizing stator 14 causes rotor 26 to rotate, thereby rotating suction shroud 22 and impeller 24 to create a pressurized flow of water through the housing 4 from inlet end 10 to outlet end 12. The pumping action of the rotation of impeller 24 adds head and velocity to the water, which causes the water pressure to be higher on the outlet side of the impeller than on the inlet side thereof. Referring now to Figures 2 and 3, in a preferred embodiment, hub 30 is centrally positioned and secured to housing 24 adjacent to outlet end 12. Hub 30 is preferably secured to housing 4 by seven flow straightening vanes 32. However, it will be appreciated that any suitable number of straightening vanes 32 may be used. The desired number of straightening vanes provided may be determined in a manner known to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, hub 30 may be secured to housing 4 by a plurality of struts which have little affect on the water flow. A combination of struts and vanes may also be used. Water flows around hub 30 from inlet end 10 to outlet end 12. The straightening vanes 32 reduce the magnitude of the circular component of motion of the flowing water which is produced by the action of rotating impeller 24. Impeller assembly 20 preferably includes a generally hollow shaft 34. Shaft 34 has an opening 36 into the central hollow portion thereof. Opening 36 is on the inlet side of impeller 24. Shaft 34 is received into hub 30, thereby rotatably supporting impeller assembly 20. Referring to Figures 2, 3 and 4, tubular suction shroud 22 has a forward end 38 that forms a forward gap 40 relative to housing 4 on the inlet side of impeller 24. Forward gap 40 is adjacent to the inlet end 10 of housing 4 on the inlet side of impeller 24. Tubular suction shroud 22 also has a first aft end 42 forming an aft gap 44 relative to housing 4. Aft gap 44 is on the outlet side of impeller 24. Forward gap 40 and aft gap 44 are preferably in communication with one another, thereby forming a first water circulation channel 46 between rotor 26 and housing 4. During operation, water flowing through housing 4 enters aft gap 44, where the pressure is higher, flows through first water circulation channel 46 and exits through forward gap 40 into the water flowing through housing 4. The water flowing through first water circulation channel 40 cools stator 14 and rotor 26. Tubular suction shroud 22 preferably also has a second aft end 48 forming a hub gap 50 relative to hub 30 and on the outlet side of impeller 24. Hub gap 50 and opening 36 in shaft 34 are in communication with one another thereby forming a second water circulation channel 52 between hub 30 and tubular suction shroud 22. Water enters hub gap 50, flows through second water circulation channel 52 and exits through opening 36 in shaft 34. First radial bearings 54 are mounted between housing 4 and suction shroud 22 to rotatably support one end of suction shroud 22. First bearings 54 are preferably one or more hard surface, water cooled pivoted pad or plain journal bearings mounted around the circumference of housing 4 and tubular suction shroud 22. Bearings 54 are preferably in communication with first water circulation channel 46. Water flowing in first water circulation channel 46 also cools and lubricates the bearings. The pads of the bearings of first radial bearings 54 are preferably made of a hard alloy material, such as tungsten carbide, or other suitable material that will not be damaged by sand and other material that may be present in the flowing water. Second radial bearings 56 are mounted between impeller assembly 20 and hub 30 to rotatably support another end of suction shroud 22. Second radial bearings 56 preferably include one or more hard surface, water-cooled, pivoted pad or plain journal bearings mounted around the circumference of shaft 34 in second water circulation channel 52. Water flowing in second water circulation channel 52 flows over the bearings to cool and lubricate them. The pads of second radial bearings 56 are preferably made of a hard alloy material, such as tungsten carbide, or other suitable material, to minimize the likelihood of damage resulting from sand or other contaminants in the flowing water. Thrust bearings 58 are preferably mounted between impeller assembly 20 and hub 30. Thrust bearings 58 preferably consist of double acting, water-cooled, self-leveling Kingsburg-type bearings. Thrust bearings 58 are mounted in second water circulation channel 52. Water flowing in second water circulation channel 52 cools and lubricates thrust bearings 58. The pads and thrust runner surfaces of thrust bearings 58 are preferably made of the same materials as the pads of the radial bearings to minimize damage from contaminants in the water flow. Housing 4 may be provided with a cooling jacket around annular stator 14. Cooling jacket 57 includes water inlet means 59 in communication with the water flowing through housing 4 and located adjacent to outlet end 12. Cooling jacket 57 also includes water outlet means 61 in communication with the water flowing through housing 4 and adjacent to inlet end 10. Water enters the cooling jacket through water inlet means 59, circulates through water cooling jacket 57 and is discharged back into the flow of water in housing 4 through water outlet means 61. The water flowing in cooling jacket 57 provides additional cooling for stator 14 if necessary. The water jet propulsor of Figure 2 is preferably mounted in the stern portion of the hull 6 of the vessel. Inlet end 10 of housing 4 is connected to an inlet conduit 60 that is open to the bottom of hull 6. Inlet conduit 60 may be inclined at an angle of 15 to 45 degrees to permit the center line of the water jet propulsor to be elevated from the bottom of the vessel, yet positioned below the static water line of the vessel any desired distance to permit self priming of the unit and to maximize its efficiency. Outlet end 12 of housing 4 is preferably connected to a straight discharge conduit 62. However, it will be appreciated that outlet end 12 may be connected to a volute discharge. Water jet propulsor 2 is shown oriented generally horizontally with respect to the bottom of the vessel. It will be appreciated, however, that it may be mounted at any suitable orientation that permits self-priming and yields the desired performance. The water jet propulsor of Figure 2 may be removed from the vessel for maintenance and repair without having to dry dock the vessel. Removal of bolts 8 permit disassembly of the unit for easy removal. In a preferred embodiment, the unit may be disassembled into more easily handled modular portions to facilitate installation, maintenance and removal. A valve 64 may be provided in intake conduit 60 to close the conduit when the unit is removed. A valve or other closure means may also be provided on discharge conduit 62. In operation, energization of stator 14 causes rotor 26 to rotate. Rotation of rotor 26 also rotates impeller assembly 20, which creates a pumping action. Water, sea water or fresh water, is pumped from the water in which the vessel is floating through inlet conduit 60. The rotating impeller 24 imparts velocity to the water and adds head to the water flow, thereby pressurizing the water. The higher pressure water is discharged out discharge conduit 62 to create a thrust to propel the vessel forward. Flow deflection means 66 may be provided to discharge conduit 62 to selectively deflect the discharged flow of water to steer the vessel. Flow deflection means 66 is preferably a hydraulically controlled flow deflection bucket of a type known to those skilled in the art. An example of the water jet propulsor of Figure 2 through 4 having a suction shroud diameter of 41 cms (16 inches), a motor generating 400 horsepower and rotating the impeller at 1200 rpm to produce a flow rate of 105,000 litres (23,000 gallons) per minute would be expected to provide a thrust of about 1680 kg (3700 pounds) at a vessel speed of about 15 knots. Such a water jet propulsor would be suitable for use in medium size vessels of about 7.6 to 13.7 meters (25 to 45 feet) in length. provide electrical power to stator 114. An impeller assembly 120 includes a tubular suction shroud 122 extending through and rotatable relative to annular stator 114. An impeller 124 is secured to suction shroud 122. Impeller 124 includes an axial stage 125 and a centrifugal stage 127. A rotor 126 is mounted around tubular suction shroud 122 and inside stator 114. Rotor 126 is preferably shrink fitted onto suction shroud 122 and is hermetically sealed by rotor can 128. An upper portion of impeller assembly 120 preferably includes an excitor/generator 129. Excitor/generator 129 includes an annular stator 131 that is hermetically sealed inside housing 104, and rotor 133 positioned inside stator 131 and preferably shrink fit around a portion of impeller assembly 120. Rotor 133 is also hermetically sealed. Rotor energizing means 135 electrically connect excitor/generator 129 and rotor 126. Rotation of excitor/generator rotor 133 produces an electrical current that is supplied to rotor 126. Energizing rotor 126 and stator 114 causes rotor 126 to rotate thereby rotating suction shroud 122 and impeller 124 which imparts velocity to the water and adds head thereto to pressurize the water flowing through housing 4 from inlet end 110 to outlet end 112. The pumping action caused by the rotation of impeller 124 causes the water pressure to be higher on the outlet side of the impeller than on the inlet side thereof. Once impeller assembly 120 is rotating, excitor/generator 129 supplies electrical power to rotor 126, thereby creating a synchronous motor. It will be appreciated, however, that the motor formed by rotor 126 and stator 114 may be induction motor, if desired. In a preferred embodiment, hub 130 is centrally positioned inside and secured to housing 104 adjacent to inlet end 110. Hub 130 is secured to housing 104 by vanes 132. The number and configuration of vanes 132 depends upon desired performance of the water jet propulsor and may be determined in a manner known to those skilled in the art. Vanes 132 may be pre-swirl vanes or may be straight struts that have little or no affect on the water flow. Alternatively, a combination of vanes and struts may be used. Water flows around hub 130 before reaching impeller 124. Tubular suction shroud 122 has a first forward end 138 that forms a forward gap 140 relative to the housing 104. Forward gap 140 is on the inlet end side of impeller 124. Tubular suction shroud 122 has a first aft end 142 forming a first aft gap 144 relative to housing 104. First aft gap 144 is adjacent to the outlet end 112 of housing 104. Forward gap 140 and first aft gap 144 are preferably in communication with one another, thereby forming a first water circulation channel 146 between rotor 126 and housing 104. During operation, water flowing through the housing 104 enters aft gap 144, where pressure is higher, flows through first water circulation channel 146 and exits through forward gap 140 into the water flowing through the housing 104. The water flowing through the first water circulation channel 146 cools stator 114 and rotor 126. Tubular suction shroud 122 includes a central shaft 134. Central shaft 134 is received into hub 130 and housing 104 to rotatably support impeller assembly 120. In a preferred embodiment, excitor/generator 129 is mounted on an upper end of shaft 134. Electrical leads 135 which electrically connect excitor/generator 129 and rotor 126, extend through the opening in shaft 134 and through an opening in one of the vanes 125 of impeller 124. First radial bearings 154 are mounted on housing 104 and suction shroud 122 to rotatably support one end of suction shroud 122. First bearings 154 are preferably mounted on the upper portion of central shaft 134 of suction shroud 122. First bearings 154 preferably include one or more hard surface, water-cooled pivoted pad or plain journal bearings mounted around the circumference of central shaft 134 of tubular suction shroud 122. The pads of bearings 154 are preferably made of a hard alloy, such as tungsten carbide or other suitable material. Because of the large size of this embodiment, providing radial bearings around the circumference of the suction shroud 122 itself would be impractical. Accordingly, the radial bearings are mounted around shaft 134. Second radial bearings 156 are mounted on impeller assembly 122 and hub 130 to rotatably support another end of suction shroud 122. Second bearings 156 preferably includes one or more hard surface, water cooled, pivoted pad or regular journal bearings mounted around the circumference of the lower portion shaft 134. The pads of bearings 156 are preferably made of the same type of material as bearings 154 Thrust bearings 158 are preferably mounted on impeller assembly 120 and housing 104. Thrust bearings 158 preferably include one or more water-cooled, double-acting, self-leveling, Kingsburg type bearings. The thrust runner and bearing pads are preferably made of a hard material, such as tungsten carbide or other suitable material. Tubular suction shroud 122 has a second aft end 141 that forms a second aft gap 143 relative to housing 104. Second aft gap 143 is in communication with second water circulation channel 145 and is defined between shaft 134 and housing 104. Second water circulation channel 145 includes the gap between rotor 133 and stator 131 of excitor/generator 129, and thrust bearings 158 and first radial bearings 154 and mounted in second water circulation channel 145. A second forward end 147 of shaft 134 suction shroud 122 forms a hub gap 149 relative to hub 130. Hub gap 149 is in communication with hub water circulation channel 151 that is defined between hub 130 and shaft 134. A cooling water pump means 153 is in communication with second water circulation channel 145 and hub water circulation channel 151. Pump means 153 filters water and pumps it into second water circulation channel 145. The water in second water circulation channel 145 cools excitor 129, cools and lubricates thrust bearing means 158 and first radial bearing means 154 and exits through second aft gap 143 into the water flow through the propulsor. The flow of water through second water circulation channel 145 is shown generally by arrows a. Pump means 153 also pumps water into hub water circulation channel 151, where it passes over and cools and lubricates second radial bearing means 156 and exits through hub gap 149. Housing 104 may be provided with a cooling jacket 157 around annular stator 114. Cooling jacket 157 includes water inlet means (not shown) in communication with the water flowing through housing 104 and located adjacent to outlet end 112. Cooling jacket 157 also includes water outlet means (not shown) in communication with the water flowing through housing 104 and adjacent to inlet end 110. Water enters the cooling through water inlet means, circulates through water cooling jacket 157 and is discharged back into the flow of water through housing 104 through water outlet means. The water flowing in cooling jacket 157 provides additional cooling for stator 114 if necessary. The water jet propulsor of Figures 5 through 7 may be mounted in any desired location in the hull 106 of the vessel below the static water line thereof. Inlet end 110 of housing 104 may be connected to an inlet conduit 160 that is open to the bottom of hull 106. Inlet conduit 160 may be oriented at an angle of about 0° to 45° with respect to a line perpendicular to the bottom of the vessel. However, the propulsion unit may be oriented at any desired angle sufficient to maintain self priming and obtain the desired performance. The outlet end 112 of housing 104 is preferably connected to a volute discharge 162 (shown more particularly in Figure 6). The force of the water being discharged from the propulsion unit creates a thrust that propels the vessel forward. Flow deflector means (not shown) of a type known to those skilled in the art may be provided to deflect the discharge flow of water to steer the vessel. In a preferred embodiment, housing 104 surrounds a portion of volute discharge 162. The portion of housing 104 wherein second radial bearing means 156 and thrust bearing means 158 and excitor/generator 129 are located is preferably in the center portion of the spiral of volute discharge 162. In operation, this embodiment operates substantially identically to that described with respect to Figures 2 through 4. An example of water jet propulsion of Figures 5 through 7 has a suction shroud having a diameter of about 130 inches. A motor generating 50,000 horsepower rotating the impeller at 120 rpm to produce a flow rate of about 2,000,000 gallons per minute which would produce a thrust of about 300,000 pounds at 30 knots. Such a water jet propulsor would be suitable for a vessel weighing about 2,000 tons capable of travelling at speeds in excess of 50 knots. Such a water jet propulsor would be suitable for use in large, high speed vessels, such as navy cruisers and other war ships and commercial vessels. The water jet propulsor of Figure 5 may be disassembled into component parts for repair, installation and maintenance without the vessel having to be dry docked. Removal of various bolts or other fastening means permit disassembly of the unit. It will be appreciated that this invention provides a water jet propulsor which does not require the installation of a separate drive system, such as a diesel engine or gasoline or steam turbine, nearby, which also eliminates the need for a drive shaft to be mechanically connected to the impeller and mounted in the intake conduit, and which may be oriented at any desired angle in order to maximize performance.
